CHAPTER 61: Twice in one sitting.

“ You don’t n-need to be that close.” Emma stuttered, desperately in need of space.Asher drew closer, “ why? Does it affect you?” She struggled to speak through the woodsy scent that engulfed her senses, “ N-no.”“ Great.” He said with a smile, enjoying pressing her nerves more than he'd anticipated. “ A new living arrangement would be set up, one that befits our new status as husband and wife.” She stiffened, “ New living arrangement?” Emma’s orbs flickered to his intense ones, “ Why? I’m fine with the-”Asher tutted. “ We can’t have any doubts about our relationship.” He said, twirling a finger through a loft of deep-wavy-brown hair and leaving little room for defiance- literally.Emma could tell it was one of those absolute terms, “ What does it entail?” She asked,“ You have one week to prepare for the formal introduction to the world, during which Mrs Adams will teach you all you need to know concerning your position.” He informed her, mentally going through his list.“ Wait

CHAPTER 62: Pinch me. Is that a smile, Mr. Braxton?

Emma was thrown into a very uncomfortable hug. Her face screamed discomfort. Asher was forced to intervene.“ Enough. Let her go.” He stated, his fingers placed on the bridge of his nose.“ What? Two seconds in marriage, and you suddenly become an alpha wolf?” Jason lectured, letting go of Emma, who was grateful to be allowed to breathe once again. “ I’m Jason. This tiger’s best friend.” He introduced with a lax smile, daring Asher to refute him. Emma was enjoying their little interaction. “ I think only-friend is a more suitable term, seeing he’s not a ray of sunshine.” He added with a faraway look etched on his face.Asher rolled his eyes, “ Ha ha.” He muttered under his breath, not the least bit excited to see his friend.“ Have something to say, Ash?” Jason took him by surprise. When was the last time someone referred to him by a nickname? He was used to the good old Mr Braxton as a mode of recognition. Even his close relatives didn’t refer to him with such endearment.. that was a

CHAPTER 63: What? Cat got your tongue?

“ Who instructed you to bring her in here?” Asher’s tone was grave the second time he asked. He willed himself to be calm and understanding, but it was damn hard.Mrs Adams straightened up.“ You said to take her to the-” She made to explain but was cut off rudely.“ Are you dumb?” Asher was seething, unreasonable. “ What do you not understand in - No one is allowed HERE?” He bellowed, losing it by the minute.Emma couldn’t stay still, “ Watch your tone. She only brought me here because-”“ For the love of God, Emma, Shut up. Don’t interfere in matters that do not directly involve you. Am I clear?” Asher was tethered to the brink of losing his shit- literally.“ I will not be insulted, Mr Braxton. Whatever the problem is, take it up with yourself! It's clear there’s some loosened screw up there.” Emma was unrelenting. “ If you have a little decency, you should apologize to her. Now!” She screamed at him, referring to his total disrespect to Mrs Adams.“ Calm down, it’s fine.” Mrs Adams

Chapter 64: What have you done this time?

Asher was seated at the head of the long dining table while Jason sat by his right, closest to him. The men sat while the maids set up the table with more food than they could eat. “ Where is she?” Jason asked as soon as they were alone.Asher’s response was automatic, and his tone sounded displeased. “ What business do you have with my wife?” He asked immediately.“ Don’t be such a killjoy.” Jason scolded, holding a disgruntled look, “ Why isn’t she here with us?” This time, his tone was serious.“ Again, what business do you have with her whereabouts?” Asher didn’t care, He should know him by now. Jason shook his head and maintained silence. Jason didn’t miss the occasional lingering gaze of Asher towards the stair area. He seemed like he was waiting for something. Someone.The next time, a maid came around, bearing what seemed like dessert, he asked his question. “ Why isn’t Mrs Braxton here for dinner?” Jason left little to be defied while the maid looked between the two men like

CHAPTER 65: It's where the magic happens!

Early the next day, Asher dressed for his journey and was escorted by Jason and Mrs Adams.“ I’ll be back in exactly one week. In the meantime, ensure my wife is properly taken care of. I expect constant feedback on the state of things.” Asher said to Mrs Adams.“ Yes, Sir.”“ Oh please, If you want to know, maybe you should try a different less-caveman approach.” Jason’s tone was flat. He let out a yawn. “ Why are you leaving so early anyway?” Asher withheld himself, “ And what do you propose to be a ‘less-caveman’ approach, Sherlock?” “ I don’t know. Get her number? Send a text. Surely there’s got to be other ways of going about things than this.” Jason spoke like it was general knowledge while Asher let out a sigh. It was too early to deal with this.He continued, ignoring Jason’s unneeded opinions. “ Ensure her assistant is here before she awakes, including her personal security detail. Also, clear out one of the guest rooms in the house,” Asher looked at Jason, then added. “ I

CHAPTER 66: Classic Emma.

Emma was in her room, face deep in her computer. For the past two days, after she was introduced to her assistant and security, she’s been holed up in her bedroom, trying to sort herself out before her husband returns.Mrs Adams, Jason and her assistant had paid a concerned visit to her, expressing their fear and discomfort with her hermit lifestyle but she made sure to convince them it was nothing and she was trying to get used to things on her own- which was a blatant lie. She didn’t care though, she had other pressing matters to settle which was honestly taking the remains of her sanity. For the past two days, her routine was as follows: Wake up, eat, work, sleep, work some more, get frustrated, eat and sleep.Despite her religious routine, it seemed as the day went by, her resolve diminished. Every route she tried was met with a roadblock, so much that she needed some sort of relief from the string of failures, and resolved to design on her computer to pass time.As opposed to th

CHAPTER 67: Once bitten, twice shy.

Chara held a confused look, half expecting Emma to backtrack on her statement. “ Non-disclosure?” She ended up asking when the expectation wasn’t forthcoming.“ Yes.” Chara felt out of sorts. How on earth could they work together if she didn’t even trust her? Was it her nature to be untrusting or was it something she did or said?She struggled to muster a smile as she spoke, “ You don’t need to tell me, I’ll assist you in the best way I can.” Emma’s eyes narrowed, “ Why? You don’t want to be accountable?” “ Of course not!” She huffed nervously, “ I don’t want to cross boundaries, If you want me to know, I figured you’ll tell me.” Emma remained calm, gauging the lady before her, the silence turned daunting and uncomfortable. “ If you really want me to sign something, I would, If that’s what it takes to feel secure with me.” She added, ready to sign yet again since she got the job. “ Fine. I’ll draw something up, in due time.” Emma notified with a shrug; she couldn’t pinpoint whe

CHAPTER 68: What could go wrong?

“ Tell me you’re joking.” Emma said, flickering between the two of them. “ I Apologize, Mrs. Braxton.” Ms Adams quipped- as though that made everything better.“ Hubby’s rules.” Jason added with a shrug.Emma stared at them in unbelief, “ Why on earth am I not allowed out? What is this? House arrest?”“ No my dear. The boss gave express orders that you are allowed any and everywhere else-”“ Unless it's in the damn property.” Emma supplied, rudely cutting off Ms. Adams. “ Is that supposed to make me feel less than a prisoner?”“ You are also at liberty to request any and everything, whatever you need would be brought to you.” Ms. Adams said, hoping to get through to her.“ This is just terrible. I want to speak to him. This wasn’t part of the-”Jason let out a painfully loud cough, abruptly ending her line of sentence. Their eyes revved to him in concern and he gave her the 'look'. Emma sighed, “ Listen, I need to get out. I’ve been holed up for the longest time, whatever it takes,

CHAPTER 69: I will not be controlled.

Asher addressed the situation, not sparing Chara or Mrs. Adams: their week's earning split in half as a result of the case. Afterwards, Asher made his way to the room, where an equally angry Emma sat, waiting for him.“ What was that?” She spoke first, not sparing him a glance.“ Funny how I wanted to ask you the exact same question.”Emma got to her feet, holding a defying look, “ I will not be treated like some rag doll. I don’t know what came over you, making you think I’m someone unable to fend for herself, but I’ll tell you one thing.” She paused, trying to catch her breath, “ I will not watch you disrespect me or my people. You have to apologize.”“ Are you done?” He sounded bored, “ A friendly reminder, they were my employees before your ‘people’ and I retain full autonomy and power over how they carry out the duties they are being paid to do.” He walked towards her, tilting her face to behold him, “ I will not have you disrespect me in front of my employees.”Asher’s tone was

CHAPTER 70: Oops, my mistake, ex-girlfriend.

“ I’m so sorry!” Bianca squeaked out, looking like a deer caught in headlights. “ I honestly didn’t know this was real.” She said, gesturing between Emma and Asher.Asher held a stoic face while Jason seemed distressed.“ Hi Ash,” The lady greeted with a smile and Emma couldn’t help but notice how perfect she seemed.It was hard not to when she had everything in the right places. Slim and slender legs, check. Symmetrical face, check. Curvy in all the right places, check. Glass skin, check. Dimples that added to an already breath-taking smile, check. God sure took his time creating her. Emma seemed out of sorts, unsure of how to relate to this new and beautiful woman. The fondness in her voice when she spoke to Asher told her that she wasn’t an ordinary person. Not an outsider. At least not to the Braxton Family.Asher cleared his throat, then held her by the waist. “ Rebecca, meet my wife, Emma.” His grip tightened, “ Emma, Rebecca.” After the introduction, Emma couldn’t help but no
